Density 23 · -12 vs Dairy & eggs medianNeufchatel scores 23 of 100, a Low band result and 47th of 60 among Dairy & eggs entries, though its vitamin A reading of 27% DV is its clearest strength, backed by a good showing of protein at 18% DV.
Softer and tangier than standard cream cheese, it spreads easily onto bagels or blends into cheesecake batter and dips without the heaviness of full-fat versions. Saturated fat is still the number to watch, at 12.8 g per 100 g, so treating it as a spread rather than a scoop-by-the-spoonful ingredient keeps portions in check.
